Schulman Snipes Sternberg For A Big Pot

Nick Schulman, Alan Sternberg, and Brett Shaffer went to battle in a three way pot that has seen Schulman emerge with a top five chip stack. Shaffer was short and all in for around 12,000, but the big action was between Sternberg and Schulman, who got in a raising war preflop. Eventually, all 80,000 of Sternberg's chips got in there, and Schulman made the call having him covered.

Schulman: {a-Hearts} {3-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
Sternberg: {a-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Shaffer: {a-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {10-Spades}

The flop brought plenty of action, coming {7-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . This gave Sternberg middle set, but gave both his opponents the nut low draw. That came on the turn, the {6-Spades} , and it was looking like a split pot. That was until the {5-Diamonds} hit the river, giving Schulman a seven high straight and knocking off Sternberg. Shaffer survived the hand, splitting the low pot, to drop him to 10,000, while Schulman jumps towards the top of the leaderboard.
